Children

and Teens

Our Tiny and Future Champions classes (ages 4-13 years) are designed to teach children and teens self defence and self discipline, as well as developing confidence.

Tiny & Future Champions

Tiny Champs Program: at Gracie Barra Widnes our Tiny Champs class allows ages 4-6 the opportunity to become familiar with the jiu-jitsu environment and the structure of the programs. This allows for the younger ages to have fun and get to know new friends whilst beginning to understand basic techniques of martial arts for children.

Future Champions: ages 7-13 years. To excel in any endeavour individuals need a strong set of values and a solid character that gives them the perseverance to achieve their goals.

As a contact sport, Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides a very challenging, yet safe and caring environment for a child to mature towards a real life champion. The discipline and excellence demanded by our instructors often carries over to the child's behaviour at home and at school.

Gracie Barra Widnes prides itself on our children's martial arts program in our day to day classes, as well as providing and working towards events for those children interested in competitive sport jiu-jitsu.

Our Anti-Bullying Course

Gracie Barra Widnes hosts yearly Anti-Bullying courses to educate and empower our children. The course helps children talk about difficult situations with their family or teachers, verbally stand up for themselves, reassure themselves if they are picked on at school, and learn the physical defence they may need in future.

We want jiu-jitsu, and the confidence to defend yourself - sometimes without any physical action at all - to be the solution every child has to the problem that is bullying.

  • 1 in 4 students are bullied at school
  • 280,000 students are physically attacked at secondary schools every month
  • 77% of all students are bullied either physically, verbally or mentally
  • 43% of students fear being bullied in the toilets at school
  • 97% of all fights end up happening on the ground, not standing up
